    And his birthplace is Maryland while the nearest 'siblings' in both directions show New York; and a 'sibling' is born the same year, though obviously not impossible. No sources showing his parentage as far as I can see, though can't look at the content of the books cited. I'd just remove his child/parents relationship to Eleazer and Sarah, it looks like a mistake.

    If you are certain these profiles have nothing to do with your family, and if there are no sources attached to the profiles or the relevant relationships that indicate they /are/ related, you can remove the erroneous relationships using their pencil icons.

    No record of how he is related to parents (different last names). Paul Howell 1725-1781 child of Captain Eleazer Hawkins and Sara Hawkins. No record that Sara was married more than once.
